Chapter 224: The Vast Dream (8)

The eldest princess of Gaomi speaks quickly and straightly, and her temperament is also extremely fast. On March 3, he mentioned with Mu Qing that he wanted to reopen the Jingcini Temple and worship Empress Taimu, but in January, everything was ready, and only the scriptures were copied.

Before entering the temple, Mu Qing took the invitation of the eldest princess of Gaomi to enter the palace to meet the eldest grandson once, apparently to receive her teachings, entrusted with pious copying scriptures and other things, but in fact, he wanted to take the opportunity to visit Fengling. Unexpectedly, she couldn't see it, and she had to leave the palace in a huff. Because I saw that the reeds that were planted all over the harem last year were growing very well, my heart couldn't help but move secretly.

And the day before the auspicious day chosen by the eldest princess of Gaomi, Mu Qingming ordered the six people of the Imperial Palace to change into plain dresses, take off the gold and jade hair ornaments, and each of them only used silver hairpins and silver hair nails and other simple heads, and warned them of the rules of worship, so that they would follow them to copy a few menstrual periods.

When these people first heard that Mu Qing was invited by the eldest princess of Gaomi to live in the temple in Xuanpingfang for ten days, they thought that she was not in the mansion and could get close to Du Ruhui, and they were secretly happy. At first glance, when they heard that Mu Qing wanted them to go together, except for Lu Ayuan, the rest were full of reluctance and overflowed straight to their faces.

Mu Qing lowered his face and put on a rare stern admonition: "Although it is hard to copy the scriptures, it is not as comfortable to live in the house as the temple, and you must be vegetarian every day." You must know that this time we are copying scriptures and praying for the Holy Mother, such an opportunity, supreme glory, and merit in the ten directions, if it weren't for the fact that you are all from the court, know books and etiquette, and all of you are literate and hyphenated, and have a splendid mind, where is this decent and good thing to get here? Do you not want it? Don't say that these of us are the royal relatives like the eldest princess of Gaomi, and they also live and eat like us, she still has no complaints, but you dare to complain! ”

Everyone had to bury their heads in the dissatisfaction and loss in their hearts, and went back to their respective courtyards to prepare according to their words.

It is good to be able to hide for a while, but Mu Qingnian is not in the mansion to take care of him, but he is afraid that he will have to deal with political affairs all night, and he will deal with it indiscriminately in terms of meals, and he will ruin his own body for ten days, and he will inevitably worry about his stomach again. Go out on this day. Early in the morning, before dawn, he got up and ordered this, and told that, knowing that none of the servants in the family dared to disturb him, but it was just a few words that he repeated in vain.

Go out early on this day. It is to go out of the workshop with Du Ruhui. Mu Qing changed into a moon-white corset skirt in the main room, with a shirt with a lake blue treasure pattern, and went out of the main house to the front yard cleanly. Du Ruhui waited in the main hall of the front yard one step ahead of her.

Before Mu Qing entered the main hall, he heard a soft voice of mourning relatives: "The slave knows that he is guilty of death, but he will not dare to defile the pure land of Buddhism......"

I listened to the absent-minded perfunctory voice again. "Let's take counsel with your wife."

Mu Qing raised his feet and stepped into the door, but saw Du Ruhui holding a volume of Di Bao in his hand, and he was reading it with a deep frown, and a palace man was kneeling on the ground, his face was full of illness and sadness, and his little face was pale and colorless.

When Du Ruhui saw her come in, he shook the newspaper in his hand, relieved, "The saint is finally approved." ”

"Quasi-what?" Mu Qing leaned over his face.

"Add a 'yong' between the rent and the adjustment, and you can accept silk instead of forced labor. So that the men have spare energy to work on agricultural affairs, so as to ensure that the rent is constantly adjusted and the treasury is full. Du Ruhui let go of the first locked brows, looking particularly happy, "The household department is neat, and the Hu family is also a capable person, in the end, this matter was promoted, and the errand of the household department was finally completed. ”

Mu Qing was stunned for a moment. Fang recalled the secret visit to the village on the outskirts of the city in the autumn of last year, and he almost didn't remember the events of that day after that, it turned out that he had been working hard for several months. Look at the new fine lines under his eyes. As his smile became more and more profound, suddenly Mu Qingji wanted to reach out and touch his face, but because there were still a few palace people in the main hall, he only squeezed his hanging hand into a fist and gave up.

"I'm not here for a few days, so I have to pay attention to maintenance. I ordered Shiro to keep an eye on you. Whether Daddy has food at home or not, whether he has a stay in the study, the children will not talk nonsense, and it will be told to me in 1510 days later. Mu Qing shook his head threateningly, suddenly realized that there was still a kneeling person on the ground, and hurriedly turned around, "Hey, this is ...... How so? Okay, how do you kneel here again? ”

The people in the palace almost fainted, clutching their stomachs and gritting their teeth and unable to speak. The servant on the side stepped forward and whispered two words in Mu Qing's ear, which turned out to be the abdominal pain caused by Kwai Shui. Mu Qing ordered someone to help her up, clasped her wrist casually, vaguely felt that the pulse was tight, and then looked at her complexion, secretly guessed that she had taken something cold in private, and it was not intentional to stay in the house.

She glanced at Du Ruhui, thinking that the palace person was Yun Ying's unmarried little lady after all, and she was a little embarrassed, so she avoided it and said: "The newly promoted Huitong nun of Jingci Ni Temple, I heard that she is good at curing women's diseases, and she is often good at women and women in the neighborhood. As long as we copy the scriptures and burn incense, you don't touch it. ”

"Aliu!" She turned around and shouted, "Go get a hand warmer." He turned his face and said to the palace warmly: "For the time being, I will use it for the time being, and when I get to the nun temple, I will ask the nun to check the pulse and see it, and then I will send someone to buy medicine to eat." ”

As soon as the pale-faced palace man heard that he was still going, he ate this bitterness in vain, and his complexion became more and more dismal in an instant, and he couldn't wait to faint to the ground immediately. Danniang, who was standing near her, helped her with a hand, said a few words of concern, laughed in her heart, and secretly snorted disdainfully, bah, the cheap maid is boring.

The first drum beat of the door shook over, and the main hall was a little chaotic for a while, and everyone went out and got into the car. Du Ruhui rode a horse, Mu Qing and A Liu were in the same car, the remaining six people and several maids sat in three cars, and a team of cars and horses set off vigorously and went to the gate of the fang.

Walking to the gate of the fang, Wuhou, who had changed shifts, saw this situation, and hurriedly smiled and stepped forward to open all the doors of the fang, so that the carriages and horses could pass. After passing the Fang Gate, Mu Qing and his entourage wanted to go south to Xuanpingfang, and they would part ways with Du Ruhui.

"I was sick a few years ago, and I didn't have to recuperate properly, so I took advantage of this time to recuperate carefully for a while. As for the female nuns who copied the original nuns, you only need to do a little effort, and you don't have to work very hard. Du Ruhui got off the horse and went to the front of the car, lifted the curtain on the car, and instructed: "On the day of the opening ceremony, I will go to the ceremony with the holy driver to watch and worship, and I will take you home in time." ”

Mu Qing leaned out of the car, and the faint dawn of the east blue and white reflected on his face, making his complexion covered with a layer of iron blue and gray. Mu Qing's heart seemed to teach someone to slam his head, and he was sore and sore. A few days ago, I had already noticed that Du Ruhui's face was not very good-looking, and he was always afraid that he would think too much, so he deliberately avoided it, and he didn't even dare to listen to the pulse. Comforting myself in private, I thought that I was tired from working all day, and it would be good to rest for a few days. At this time, his complexion and the few gray hairs on his sideburns were particularly eye-catching, and Mu Qing felt sad in his heart. finally nodded with a smile, urging him to get on the horse and enter the court quickly.

……

On the second day of Mu Qing's entry into the temple, it rained drippingly, and in early March, there had been a few intermittent rains, and now in April, it has rained continuously. It's really not a good sign, I'm afraid that this year's rain is too much, which is a sign of waterlogging.

After diagnosing and treating the palace man who had abdominal pain, he learned that Mu Qing also loved to read some medical classics since he was a child, and he had studied with the holy hand Zhao Cang for a few years, so he talked to her. At first, she only talked about some medical theories, and then talked about Buddhism in self-treatment and medicine for two days, and only chose what Mu Qingai listened to, which teased her heart. put an orthodox and noble Gaomi eldest princess in the second place. Fortunately, the eldest princess of Gaomi was a rough thinker, and she only felt that what they said was very interesting, and she was happy to listen to it, and she didn't seem to care about the twists and turns of the nun.

This wisdom is also said to be a quiet heart, consciously attached to the tree, secretly thinking that it is better to always lean on the back more firmly, so the first effort is very sufficient, although the body is in the pure land, the ears and eyes are very well informed in the mortal world.

She knew very well that although the eldest princess Gaomi was the sister of the saint, she was not the first queen's concubine. first married the eldest grandson's family, and then died of illness due to her husband's illness, and when she remarried the son of the former military department Shangshu, she caused the displeasure of the eldest grandson's mother's family, although it did not make enemies. But he has never been on good terms with the queen. The Duan family, who married later, devoted himself to cultivating and refining pills, and rarely asked about court affairs, and the husband and wife were not very harmonious. She is naturally not as hot as Mu Qing.

One day, after Huitong left, the eldest princess Gaomi took Mu Qing's hand and said calmly: "Although I am a royal noblewoman. The queen loves first, and then the princesses are separated by a layer, and in the early years, they offended the eldest grandson's family, and the husband's family is bent on avoiding the world, and they can't be relied on. If I speculate on the holy will from time to time and act according to my preference, Chang'an is so big that there will be no place for me to stay for a long time. ”

Mu Qing hesitated for a moment, withdrew his hand from the palm of the eldest princess Gaomi, repeatedly slapped it on the back of her hand, patted it a few times, and sighed: "Everyone has their own difficulties, everyone is the eldest princess, but the sourness is only tasted by herself." After that, he only looked sadly at the outside of the window lattice, and the rain that fell on the flowers and plants was stunned.

The eldest princess of Gaomi was so relieved, and seeing that she seemed to be full of worries, she slowly put away her worries, raised her eyebrows hesitantly, and asked, "Look at Qi Niang, it's not very good lately?" ”

Mu Qing only shook his head and waved his hand, "That's it, that's it, what if it doesn't go well, after all, I have to swallow it myself." ”

"If Qi Niang is a person who can say a few words of self-expression, what is unspeakable, and sue me in front of me, the right should be a slow mood, out of this Jingci Temple, we just have never mentioned these words." The eldest princess of Gaomi became serious, and she had to relieve Mu Qing's worries.

Mu Qingchang sighed several times, picked up the tea pot on the stove, filled the tea cup in front of the eldest princess Gaomi, and hesitated until the young leaves of the new tea in her tea cup were stretched out, Fang sighed deeply, and raised his chin to the west side of the scripture copying room. "It's not those palace people who are making trouble, and I don't know how to place it at home for a long time. If one of these six people can teach Keming what he likes, I will be relieved. He is diligent and busy, and he doesn't even have time to ask more questions about Shiro's schoolwork, where is he still thinking about taking a concubine? ”

When the eldest princess Gaomi saw that she was willing to say, she was willing to listen, and nodded her head again and again, "Duke Du is diligent in official affairs, and the saint has extremely high expectations for him, so it's no wonder." ”

Mu Qing took a sip of tea, and then said: "These six people are good women given by the queen, how can I really be called as slaves and maids without knowing how to advance and retreat?" Nowadays, they can only be dressed and sheltered at home. Unknowingly, I am jealous, but in fact, I wish I could be used as a side room as soon as possible, so everyone can rest assured. Helplessly, Keming has no intention, can I still force it to him? What a grievance......"

As he spoke, Mu Qing's face was full of grievances, and his eyes vaguely seemed to be covered with a layer of moisture. The eldest princess of Gaomi stared down at the whitening cup, as if the stretching and floating of the tea leaves in the cup aroused her interest, and both of them were speechless for a while, only quietly listening to the sound of the rain hitting new leaves outside the window, and the sound of rain-drenched birds flapping their wings.

Suddenly, the bell rang outside the house, indicating that the time for lunch class had arrived, and the eldest princess Gaomi seemed to be awakened by the bell, raised her head and smiled softly: "Qi Niang and Du Gong Plaice have a deep relationship, and I have heard a lot, which is really envious." The queen is in charge of the harem every day, but I am afraid that it is difficult to understand the reason, and for the sake of her brother's anxiety, it is inevitable that she will not think well, and she is eager to insert her eyes and ears beside Du Gong, and even I, who has always been stupid, can see that it is inappropriate, this calculation is clumsy. ”

"I can't plan clumsily, I have something to give, but I dare not accept it?" Mu Qingliang replied: "Ah Lang just arranges the world, and they don't have to pay attention to the trivial matters in the back house, and this stall is not all carried by our housewomen." ”

The eldest princess of Gaomi nodded frequently, grabbed Mu Qing's hand, and said in her heart: "She acts like this, I can't see it the most, if you are embarrassed, just come and tell me, I will think with you, so as to get over the mess in front of me, although I can't resist and rebel, but I am also her aunt." ”

At this moment, Mu Qing was cold and guarded against the royal people, and he couldn't help but feel genuine gratitude in his heart, pursed his lips and nodded, wanting to get up and thank him, but the eldest princess of Gaomi said that she was not allowed to give a salute.

The two looked at each other and smiled at the agarwood cigarette rising in the wooden incense box, ate a cup of tea, and talked for a while, until the temple noon class was nearing the end, a famous little nun ran to the door of the house, bowed down to chant the Buddha, and invited her to have lunch.
